"It seems that there is always confusion surrounding the use of dynamic effects and what they do. By dynamic effects, I am referring to compressors, limiter and gates. The rookie home studio owner (myself was no exception) is always debating whether there is a need to invest in one of these units and how it actually helps your sound. My goal here is to give you a brief discription of what these units do and how it affects you recordings."

"Mastering is the stage at which you virtually stop hearing the recording as a collection of songs, but more as a single musical vision. The job of the mastering engineer is to make the recording flow smoothly from song to song giving it a consistent level and sonic quality. This is not to say that every song is supposed to sound the same, but that each song sounds like it belongs on the same CD.

Nothing is more annoying to the listener, or at least annoying to me when I am the listener, than having to turn the volume up or down from song to song, or if in one song the bass is boomy and obnoxious, but it in the next is smooth and tasteful, thereby possibly causing the need for EQ adjustments between songs depending on listening environments. Do song songs require more bass than others? Absolutely, but if the difference is too great, it sounds like another band is playing the song. You always want the songs to sound like you."

"How many times have you mixed your latest number one hit only to find that the vocals seem buried in the mix? To bring them out more, you just need to turn them up a little, right? Well, not necessarily. In fact, doing this most often just places that vocal "on top” of your mix. The result sounds like two completely separate recording playing at the same time; one of the band, and one of the vocals. How do you get the vocals to sit "in” the mix without fighting with other tracks? How do you get that bass guitar to still be nice and bottom heavy and still hear the kick drum punching through? How do you make that sax solo pop out front without piercing your ear drums? You guessed it. EQ"
